AP COURSES

SST supports any student who wants to accept the challenges of an advanced class. The opportunity to be in Advanced Placement (AP) classes’ carries with it certain assumptions about the capabilities and maturity of students completing the college level work that AP courses represent. AP coursework requires students to engage in more independent analytical reading, academic discourse, and writing assignments, both inside and outside the classroom.

Students with disabilities are allowed the same opportunity to participate in Pre-AP and AP classes as their non-disabled peers. The same eligibility criteria and expectations would apply to these students, but they can receive an accommodation in an advanced class, unless that accommodation would alter the content or academic standards of the Pre-AP or AP class. The student must also be eligible to receive the accommodation in a regular class.

College Board can allow students with disabilities to use accommodations in exams including AP exams if it is shown that these students ’disabilities affect their test participation. Campus Special Education Coordinator and High School Counselor can be contacted for College Board accommodation request process and more.

The following AP enrollment guidelines will be used to match the level and complexity of the AP curriculum with the readiness and motivation of the students. The campus AP Committee has the right to make collaborative enrollment decisions and process appeals.
